Secret
Renaissance Art Ingredient Found: Glass
WASHINGTON -- How did paintings by Tintoretto and other Venetian
Renaissance artists get their special glow? Using an electron microscope,
Barbara Berrie, senior conservation scientist at the National Gallery
of Art, discovered one of their secrets: tiny bits of glass the
artists mixed with their pigments.
Harris
& Ruble Announce Suit Filed to Recover Alleged Da Vinci Painting
LOS
ANGELES--The law firm of Harris & Ruble announced that Jacqueline
Hahn has filed suit to regain possession of the famed "La Belle
Ferroniere," an important Renaissance painting attributed to
Leonardo Da Vinci. The painting achieved celebrity in the 1920's
when Ms. Hahn's family became embroiled in a slander of title action
concerning the artwork, after Lord Joseph Duveen of Millbank, the
preeminent art dealer of the twentieth century, disputed its authenticity.
Anti-Bush
art yanked out of exhibit
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A controversial painting that depicts the
American flag being flushed down the toilet and sparked protests
after its inclusion in an exhibit at the state Department of Justice
building last month has been removed. "T'anks to Mr. Bush,"
the painting by attorney Stephen Pearcy, was moved out of the exhibit
in the state building's cafeteria and into the 17th floor hallway
in the building's east wing"out of concern for the events going
on in the Middle East right now," said Nathan Barankin, spokesman
for Attorney General Bill Lockyer. Barankin declined to identify
who specifically prompted the move but said it was a department
decision that he did not think amounted to censorship.
Broadway
puts on a show for Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS -- Veering sharply from its tradition of over-the-top
spectacle, this gambling capital is rolling the dice on intimate
musical theater. Avenue Q, the 2004 best musical Tony winner, opens
in previews for a multiyear gig at the Wynn Las Vegas resort. The
show is the start of a suddenly intense liaison between Times Square
and the Las Vegas Strip. It's the first of a list of established
Broadway hits - including Hairspray, Phantom of the Opera and Spamalot-
about to take their places in the next 18 months.
Performing-arts
center moves closer to reality
ORLANDO -- Four major real-estate companies are in the running to
develop the financing, design and construction of a performing-arts
center in downtown Orlando. One of those four developers -- KUD
International, Hines, Carter and Trammell Crow Co. -- will be chosen
Sept. 1 to partner with the not-for-profit Orlando Performing Arts
Center governing board to plan, build and even program and operate
the proposed complex. The
group still has not decided between two sites for the proposed center
-- one on the blocks just east of Orlando City Hall and the other
on the city-owned land around the TD Waterhouse Centre and the 79-year-old
Carr Performing Arts Centre, just west of Interstate 4. It's not
clear when a site will be chosen.
Creation

and Young People's Program
MIAMI -- Edward Villella, Founding Artistic Director of Miami

new division within the Company that will present contemporary ballets
of the highest artistic quality by national and international cutting-edge

and Juan Js. Roca Center (Miami City Ballet Studios) on Miami Beach.
